Blast it, she couldn’t keep up the pretence of being asleep Her whole body was itching to jump up and yell at him

The bed sank under his weight as he sat and his fingers rested gently on her shoulder A wail of hurt welled up in her and the words burst from her

‘I don’t want you here’

‘I rong’

‘I’e’

‘You cannot ignore me for ever, Sam We are married’

‘So we are’ She turned her back to hiher

‘Da This isn’t like you!’

‘I’ve changed You alanted o away’

‘No Turn around and talk to me’

‘No Go away’
